    Capt. Jeff’s knowledge of the waters around New England are top notch! From inshore bass, offshore ground for haddock or large pelagic species it is always a blast! Capt. Jeff is a consummate professional who I will continue to choose to fish with for years to come.

    Exceptional Fishing Charter Experience! We had an amazing time on our fishing charter aboard the Little Sister with Captain Jeff Foote. From start to finish, the experience was amazing. Captain Foote was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and fishing techniques but also friendly, professional, and attentive to all our needs (including letting me try out his new Sea Sick band …a true lifesaver!) Captain Foote went above and beyond to ensure we had a successful fishing day, sharing expert tips and ensuring we all had the opportunity to reel in some nice Stripers. Whether this is your first time on a fishing boat, or you are a seasoned angler you are sure to enjoy your experience. Captain Foote took time with each of us, and showed a lot of patience with my children, making sure their experience was fun and successful. I highly recommend booking a charter with Central NH Guides. It’s an unforgettable adventure you won’t want to miss!

    Highly recommend Central NH Guides as your fishing charter go to. Captain is incredibly knowledgeable, sharing tips and techniques while keeping things lighthearted and fun. The boat itself is spacious and equipped with all the necessary gear. We have been taken to some great spots, and the captain works hard to make sure everyone has a chance to reel in a fish. Central NH Guides provides a top-notch experience that is worth every penny. The combination of a friendly, professional crew, excellent equipment, and prime fishing spots made this charter stand out. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, I highly recommend this fishing charter for a fun and rewarding adventure.
